• Locate temporary spaces for schools and negotiate contracts
• Construct temporary facilities, fix damaged facilities by August 17 for start of school
• Supplies & contents for temp facilities: replace EVERYTHING by August 17
• Work with FEMA, SEMA, insurance on temp facilities and rebuilding
• No projections, no budget, no assurance of reimbursement: just spend!
MAY 24: THE RECOVERY PROCESS BEGINS

• Good decisions early on:– Hired insurance attorney (public adjuster)– Hired disaster experts to help navigate the world
of FEMA and SEMA– Big-picture planning – took the time to think
about what was possible rather than what seemed impossible – seized opportunities
THE RECOVERY PROCESS…

SHORT-TERM RECOVERY – TEMPORARY FACILITIES
![Page 7: Joplin Schools Financing Disaster – There’s No Spreadsheet for This](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813125550346895d979799/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Cost Saving Solutions
• Two Elementary Schools moved to vacant buildings already owned by Joplin Schools.
• Grades 9/10 returned to a former High School site and non-K-12 programs were moved from that site.
• This created a domino effect, adding 15% local match costs, and allowed a continuation of displaced programs: Early Childhood and Beacon School.

• When making tough or unpopular decisions remember these key things:– Transparency builds trust– Tell your story before the media does– Need full support and faith of board & leadership:
speak the same language publicly– Be prepared to use “goodwill” capital – pre-storm
relationships and perceptions matter

playgrounds – are they adequately insured?• Codes & standards – keep these in mind when
replacing older facilities• Blanket coverage – total loss limit per event vs. by
building limit
